Setting
The game is set in the same world as Amihailu in Dreamland, and 22 years prior to the events in that game, the game's titular Hell appears to be a vast plain with many unknown features (as the entire dimension is pitch black from a lack of natural light). The game's setting includes a tall tower in the centre of the heavily populated Hell City, and one of the city's many boroughs, the city and region are connected by a rapid transit system, which makes a brief appearance in the game.
Gameplay
There are no "effects" in Hell Diary, instead there are certain items that have various uses, as well as other characters that may join you along the way, companions have their own items to help you explore such as a Multitool.
As of V0.03, a new dossier system has been added, as you explore and talk to the various residents of Hell, Eun will discover information that she will add to her dossier that can be accessed through the menu, this will contain a summary of important information relevant to many of the happenings across Hell as well as information on important characters and investigations that Eun is doing.
Plot
In 2221, the young shaman Hana has disappeared from the shrine complex in Nampodong, a suburb of the Galwi capital city. The elder priestesses fear a politically-motivated kidnapping, but their investigation turns up something far more sinister... Hana may have disappeared to Hell, and the only hope they have of finding her again is her old friend and former acolyte Eun Utai (who witnessed the shootings firsthand in 2219).
As she enters Hell for the first time, Eun finds that she is not the only one investigating Hana's disappearance. The Hell Investigative Bureau, run by a powerful clan of ancient demons, is working hard to stop a revolt of their own while preventing Hana from sparking an interdimensional and international incident.
Characters
There are a number of characters in Hell Diary, some join you as a companion to aid you, but very few can return with you from Hell.

| Noriko Yalmun | Aged 22. Noriko arrived in hell via traditional means—she was killed in an anti-revolutionary raid not long before Eun entered Hell for the first time. The shock of her sudden death and the embarrassment caused by appearing in Hell with her body completely intact has shaken her faith somewhat, but she is a promising candidate for a number of Demon clans thanks to an apparent adunbance of spirit—deceased rarely appear in Hell as anything more than a wisp or shadow, she is found in the library, mourning her own death and separation from her brother. | |

| Inspector Takako | Aged ~40. A demon from modern times. Keen intellect and spiritual strength have guaranteed her position in the clan, but an event from 28 years ago (which involved her death) has left her incredibly depressed.

| Chief Inspector Chisato | Aged ~950. A demon from feudal times, and a superior as demanding of her subordinates as she is herself.
